NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2010

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business
Xzeres Wind Corp. (“Xzeres” and the “Company”) is located in Portland, Oregon and was originally incorporated in the state of New Mexico in January of 1984.  The Company was engaged in the natural gas and asphalt businesses until 2007, at which time it liquidated its assets and operations and distributed the net proceeds to its shareholders after paying its debts.  On October 2, 2008, the Company re-domiciled from New Mexico to Nevada in anticipation of pursuing the wind turbine business. The Company commenced operations in the wind turbine business in the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2010.

The Company is in the business of designing, developing, and marketing small wind turbine systems and related equipment for electrical power generation, specifically for use in residential, small business, rural electric utility systems, other rural locations, and other infrastructure applications.  The Company employs proprietary technology, including power electronics, alternator design, and blade design to increase performance, reliability, and sound suppression.  The Company also works with manufacturers of inverters, lightning protection equipment and towers to integrate their equipment into the Company’s products.

Development Stage in Prior Periods
Xzeres Wind Corp. was in the development stage from October 3, 2008 to May 31, 2010. The fiscal year ending February 28, 2011 is the first fiscal year during which the Company is considered an operating company and is no longer in the development stage.
 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting Basis
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting).  The Company has adopted a February 28 fiscal year end.

Concentration of Credit Risks
The Company maintains its cash in institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).  All deposit accounts at FDIC-insured institutions are insured up to at least $250,000 per depositor. At certain times the Company’s balances exceed the insured amount.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) entitled “Subsequent Events”.  Companies are now required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated by management. Public entities (as defined) must conduct the evaluation as of the date the financial statements are issued, and provide disclosure that such date was used for this evaluation. SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) provides that financial statements are considered “issued” when they are widely distributed for general use and reliance in a form and format that complies with GAAP. SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and must be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements as of that date or for the quarter or year-to-date period then ended. In connection with preparing the accompanying unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2009 and for the quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 2009, management evaluated subsequent events through the date that such financial statements were issued (filed with the SEC).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2010

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. (“SFAS 168” or ASC 105-10) SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) establishes the Codification as the sole source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by all nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) was prospectively effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending on or after September 15, 2009 and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) on July 1, 2009 did not impact the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. The Codification did not change GAAP, however, it did change the way GAAP is organized and presented.

As a result, these changes impact how companies reference GAAP in their financial statements and in their significant accounting policies. The Company implemented the Codification in this Report by providing references to the Codification topics alongside references to the corresponding standards.

With the exception of the pronouncements noted above, no other accounting standards or interpretations issued or recently adopted are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC as of and for the period ended February 28, 2010. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order for the financial statements to be not misleading have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when products are shipped from the factory and collection is reasonably assured.

Xzeres does not currently sell wind turbines to end users, or install the wind turbines. All wind turbines and associated products are sold to pre-qualified dealers, and the dealer and/or end user assume responsibility for the installation. Dealer agreements require the dealer to sell one unit the first year and three units per year, thereafter. Dealers receive dealer pricing, a discount to the suggested retail price of the product. To date, the Company has not offered any price concessions to its dealers, and has no post shipment obligations other than the warranty it provides.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Xzeres considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash of $1,684,481 and $195,990 at August 31, 2010 and February 28, 2010, respectively.

Advertising Costs
The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred. Xzeres incurred advertising expense of $33,924 and $69,520 during the three and six months ended August 31, 2010.

Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and 123 (R) (ASC 718).  The Company adopted its stock option plan in 2010. The Company issued 1,955,000 stock options to its employees during the six months ended August 31, 2010. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $144,256 and $334,124 during the three and six months ended August 31, 2010.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2010

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, note receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses, property and equipment, intellectual property, deposit, accounts payable, accrued expenses, customer deposits, and warranty reserve. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.

Dividends
The Company has not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during any of the periods shown.

Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liability method.  Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities are recognized for  the  estimated future tax consequences attributable  to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing  assets  and  liabilities and their respective  tax  bases and operating loss and tax credit  carry  forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

It is the Company’s policy to classify interest and penalties on income taxes as interest expense or penalties expense. As of August 31, 2010, there have been no interest or penalties incurred on income taxes.

Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.  Common share equivalents totaling 2,857,225 at August 31, 2010 representing outstanding warrants and options were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the six month period ended August 31, 2010, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. There were no outstanding common stock equivalents at February 28, 2010.
 
Reclassifications
Certain accounts and financial statement captions in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statements.
 
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT EVENTS – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

On March 25, 2010, the Company acquired certain assets formerly owned by Abundant Renewable Energy, LLC, a privately held Oregon limited liability company (“ARE”), from ARE’s secured creditors (“Sellers”) in exchange for 3,192,152 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share. Neither Core Fund nor the Company had any relationships or common ownership with Abundant Renewal Energy. The shares were valued at $.40 at the time of issuance based on a recent unrelated third party private placement. The assets acquired included intellectual property and other rights related to wind turbine systems formerly manufactured and sold by ARE. The Sellers had been secured creditors of ARE and obtained the assets via a Collateral Surrender Agreement dated February 8, 2010. One of the Sellers was Core Fund, L.P., which received 2,750,614 of the shares issued in connection with the Asset Purchase, 569,232 of which Core Fund, L.P. subsequently delivered to a non-affiliate third party. The Company’s CFO, Steve Shum is the Managing Principal of Core Fund Management, L.P. and the Fund Manager of Core Fund, L.P. David Baker, our majority shareholder and the other member of our board of directors effective as of March 26, 2010, is also a non-managing member of Core Fund Management, L.P. David Baker received 227,693 of the Shares issued in connection with the Asset Purchase.

The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition. The assets were transferred from Core Fund at book value, which equals the fair value of the stock issued, since the transaction was between entities (Xzeres and Core Fund) under common control.

Intellectual property consists of product designs that management presently believes have an infinite life.

In order to maintain some existing dealer/distributor relationships, the Company determined it may make business sense to honor some warranties on previous installations and elected to set up an initial warranty reserve that estimated the total cost of honoring the warranties, even though it was under no obligation to do so. See Note 10.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2010

NOTE 12 – STOCK WARRANTS AND OPTIONS

The Company granted 1,777,225 stock warrants in connection with private placements. The Company has accounted for these warrants as equity instruments in accordance with EITF 00-19 (ASC 815-40), Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock, and as such, were classified in stockholders’ equity. The Company has estimated the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the private placements at $995,246 as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The Company also granted 1,955,000 stock options to employees. The Company has estimated the fair value of the options as of the grant dates at $1,731,616 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense is being recognized over the vesting periods of the options which range from immediate vesting to vesting over four years. To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan.

Key assumptions used by the Company are summarized as follows:

 
Private Placement Warrants
   
Employee Stock Options
 
Stock Price
$ 1.00     $ 1.00  
Exercise Price
$ 1.25     $ .80-$1.00

Expected term (in years)
  3       7  

A Stock Price of $1.00 was used in valuing the warrants and options. The stock price was based on the per share issuance price from a recent unrelated third party private placement. Volatility was computed based on the average volatility of similar companies in the wind turbine business. The risk-free interest rate is the Treasury Constant Maturity Rate on the date of grant for a period equivalent to the expected term of the instrument. The expected term is the same as the contractual term for the above valuations.

The warrants issued in connection with the private placement were valued at $995,246 and have been accounted for as an equity transaction. Options issued to employees were classified as compensation expense for the six months ended August 31, 2010. Stock option expense recognized in net earnings amounted to $144,256 and $334,124 for the three and six months ended August 31, 2010. As of August 31, 2010, there was $1,397,492 of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested share awards that we expect to recognize over a weighted average period of 3.6 years.

The Company granted 1,955,000 options during the six months ended August 31, 2010. The weighted average exercise price of these options is $1.04. There were no options issued prior to the six months ended August 31, 2010.
 
NOTE 13 – INCOME TAXES

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.   These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions.  We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions.  Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain.  Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.  We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.

Company Overview and History

We were originally incorporated in the state of New Mexico in January of 1984.  We were engaged in the natural gas and asphalt businesses until 2007, at which time we liquidated our assets and operations and distributed the net proceeds to our shareholders after paying our debts.  On October 2, 2008, we re-domiciled from New Mexico to Nevada in anticipation of pursuing the wind turbine business.  Our former management resigned on October 21, 2008 after spending years in the oil and gas industry.  Mr. Steven Shum, our current director and CFO, replaced former management in order to start a new business direction into alternative energy.  On May 17, 2010, we changed our name to “XZERES Wind Corp.”

On March 25, 2010, we acquired certain assets formerly owned by Abundant Renewable Energy, LLC, a privately held Oregon limited liability company (“ARE”) that filed bankruptcy on March 26, 2009, from ARE’s secured creditors in exchange for 3,192,152 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The bankruptcy was later dismissed and the secured creditors subsequently acquired the assets of ARE under a Collateral Surrender Agreement signed February 8, 2010.  The secured creditors then conveyed the surrendered assets to us in exchange for stock on March 25, 2010 pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement.
 

The assets acquired included intellectual property and other rights related to wind turbine systems formerly manufactured and sold by ARE.  We have rebranded these products with our name and logo.  Our products are presently commercially available and we are actively marketing our products to potential customers.

On May 14, 2010, we closed on a private offering of common stock and warrants with total gross proceeds to us of $4,010,500, which capital allowed us to commence operation of our wind turbine business during the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2010 by providing us with working capital.  We have been and will continue to use this working capital to acquire components to build products, to lease and outfit our leased space, and to hire staff for general administration, sales and marketing, engineering, and for test and assembly roles.

Our principal offices are located at 9025 SW Hillman, Suite 3126, Wilsonville, OR 97070.  Our phone number is (503) 388-7350.

Business of Company

We are in the business of designing, developing, and marketing small wind turbine systems and related equipment for electrical power generation, specifically for use in residential, small business, rural electric utility systems, other rural locations, and other infrastructure applications.  We employ proprietary technology, including power electronics, alternator design, and blade design to increase performance, reliability, and sound suppression.

Our products integrate with currently available complementary products from other manufacturers, such as inverters, lightning protection equipment and towers.  We do not have any written agreements with these other manufacturers. Our systems comprise several major components including the turbine sub-system (which converts wind energy into electricity), the tower (which holds the turbine high in the wind), a turbine controller (which controls the turbine subsystem and contains monitoring hardware and software), and an inverter (which converts the electricity generated from DC to AC to connect to a customer’s electrical load or to the grid). We currently design and contract the manufacturing for the turbine and controller, but the tower while designed to specifications suitable to our turbine requirements is made and sold by separate companies depending on the style that the customer orders.  Similarly, the inverter, which converts the energy generated to a form suitable to connect into the electric grid, is manufactured by another company and is in fact a commercial off-the-shelf product.  We sell a “system” with all of these parts included in the selling price.  The system will not operate as designed without these complementary products.  In the case of the inverter, there are other commercially available products that will integrate with our components, but we perform the system integration design to sell the entire system as a package to the customer.
 
Going forward, we expect to seek feedback on our products from top renewable energy (“RE”) consultants, manufacturers of complementary equipment, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) which, in turn, will help us to develop new innovative, attractive, quiet, and durable small wind equipment, designed for ease of installation and to certification standards which cover standard testing procedures, power ratings, and structural designs of small wind systems.
 
 
We believe that having outside evaluations of our products can lead to overall improvement in the quality of our product line.  Independent reviews also provide useful support or validation in our marketing and sales effort.  For example, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) installed and tested our 10kW machine at their testing facility in Colorado.  (The testing report notes that the test was performed on an ARE 442 turbine product, which is the exact product that we now sell branded under our name.)

This test was conducted as part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Independent Testing project. This project was established to help reduce the barriers of wind energy expansion by providing independent testing results for small turbines. In total, four turbines were tested at the National Wind Technology Center (NWTC) as a part of this project. Five tests were included in the evaluation on the ARE442: safety and function, power performance, duration, noise, and power quality tests. Test results provide manufacturers with reports that can be used for small wind turbine certification. The system was installed by the NWTC Site Operations group with guidance and assistance from Abundant Renewable Energy. We will use the tests reports for small wind turbine certification. The report is available on the NREL website. http://www.nrel.gov/wind/smallwind/abundant_renewable_energy.html

We were then able to use this independent data from NREL to engage an outside consulting firm to seek Underwriters Laboratories listing for our 10kW system.  UL is a product safety certification and compliance solution that we believe may enhance the sales and marketing appeal of our systems.  We have not yet obtained UL listing for any of our products. At this time, there is no approved UL standard governing wind turbine systems.  There is a draft UL standard (UL Subject 6140) which we anticipate being widely used within the United States following its approval.   Because we are anticipating the wide adoption of this standard by local authorities within the United States, we are currently designing our products for compliance with it.  When this standard is approved we intend to pursue listing of our wind turbine systems under it.

Dramatic increases in state and federal incentives, high energy costs, and environmental consciousness are driving unprecedented growth in the small wind turbine market.  Our current products compare as technology leaders in this market, and we will work to advance this leadership position through the continual development of performance improvements.  For example, the power curve, which is a measure of performance of a system, on our 10kW system exceeds the claimed power curves on similar sized machines from competitors in the field.  Every manufacturer states the specifications on performance of its turbines, known as a “power curve” which plots power output vs wind speed,based on product testing.  Those specifications are published by each manufacturer in much of the same way a manufacturer details the specifications of an automobile. We are then able to compare the specifications of other manufactured turbines to our own turbines.  Our power curve for our Model 442  has been independently validated by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, while many manufacturer curves are only based on internal testing.  Using this published data, we can plot our curve on the same graph as competitor curves and can show that our products produce more power at a given wind speed than some other competitors with the same nominal rating.   We can also use the same data to predict the annual energy production of competing machines assuming a standard distribution of wind resource availability.  This energy production, calculated based on published power curves by multiple manufacturers, is used in conjunction with published pricing of competing machines to show that our product has a superior return on investment.  Much of the published data comes from Home Power Magazine which has an annual buyer’s guide issue showing specifications of many of the competing products available on the market.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain any technological leadership or successfully exploit that leadership position to the benefit of our shareholders.
 

Results of Operations for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2010 and 2009,

For the three months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009, we generated gross revenue of  $361,484 and $0, respectively.  For the six months ended August, 31, 2010 and 2009, we generated gross revenue of $365,869 and $0, respectively.  Our revenue during the periods ended August 31, 2010 was attributable to our recent efforts to begin selling our wind turbine systems.  Our initial selling efforts began toward the end of our first quarter (ending May 31, 2010) and resulted in completed sales during the second quarter, ending August 31.

Our Operating Expenses during the three month period ended August 31, 2010 equalled $ 1,411,215, consisting of $152,325 in sales expense, $72,688 in marketing costs, $403,906 in R&D/Engineering fees,   and $782,296 in general and administrative expenses. We had other income of $2,143 for the period.  Therefore, we recorded a net loss of $1,323,897 for the three months ended August 31, 2010. Our Operating Expenses during the three month period ended August 31, 2009 equaled $ 1,727, consisting solely of general and administrative costs. We therefore, recorded a net loss of $1,727 for the three months ended August 31, 2009.  The substantial increase in our net loss for the period ended August 31, 2010 over the same period in 2009 is attributable to the costs attributable to commencing our business operations as a small wind turbine manufacturing and sales company.  By contrast, we did not have any active business operations in the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2009.

Our Operating Expenses during the six month period ended August 31, 2010 equaled $ 2,056,221, consisting of $175,359 in sales expense, $108,284 in marketing costs, $581,573 in R&D/Engineering fees,   and $1,191,005 in general and administrative expenses. We had other income of $3,217 for the period.  Therefore, we recorded a net loss of $1,965,153 for the six months ended August 31, 2010. Our Operating Expenses during the six month period ended August 31, 2009 equaled $ 10,730, consisting solely of general and administrative costs. We therefore, recorded a net loss of $10,730 for the three months ended August 31, 2009.  The substantial increase in our net loss for the period ended August 31, 2010 over the same period in 2009 is attributable to the costs attributable to commencing our business operations as a small wind turbine manufacturing and sales company.  By contrast, we did not have any active business operations in the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2009.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of August 31, 2010, we had total current assets of $2,212,633, consisting primarily of $1,684,481 in cash and cash equivalents, $6,326 in accounts receivable, $353,732 in inventories, $74,135 in inventory deposits, $20,000 in note receivables, and $73,959 in prepaid expenses.  Our total current liabilities as of August 31, 2010 were $318,707.  Thus, we have working capital of $1,893,926 as of August 31, 2010.   As of August 31, 2010, we had total assets of $3,778,542.

Operating activities used $2,159,936 and $11,118 in cash for the six months ended August 31, 2010 and August 31, 2009, respectively. Our net loss of $1,965,153, our inventory purchasing of $353,732, and an increase in accrued expenses of $142,258 were the primary components of our negative operating cash flow for the six months ended August 31, 2010.
 

Investing Activities used $222,782 in cash during the six month period ending August 31, 2010, mainly as a result of the purchase of computer, machinery and equipment.  Investing activities did not use or generate cash for the six months ended August 31, 2009.

Financing Activities generated $3,871,209 and $10,000 in cash for the six months ended August 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, consisting mainly of proceeds from the issuance of new common shares and related party note payable.

As of August 31, 2010, the ability to continue the implementation of our business plan over the next twelve months is contingent upon us either generating sufficient revenues from our ongoing operations to fund our business, obtaining additional financing, or some combination of revenues and additional financing.

Should we need additional financing, we would attempt to obtain capital through the use of private equity fundraising or shareholders loans. We do not have any formal commitments or arrangements for the sales of stock or the advancement or loan of funds at this time. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of August 31, 2010, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

Going Concern
 
Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and allow us to continue as a going concern. Our auditors have indicated that our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations.

In order to continue as a going concern, we will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet our minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that will be successful in accomplishing any of our plans.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Item 4T.     Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of August 31, 2010.  This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Frank Greco and our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Steven Shum.  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of August 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.  There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended August 31, 2010.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
